Have had 6, kept three...only ACCURATE bows and guns are interesting. :D

Why hunt? Simple, it's BASIC. Why breath?!

I bought a Matrix 355 to go with my Axiom. Love them both. I drive 8-12 hrs. to hunt and I just feel better having a second bow on hand.

Got two crossbows. Have a Kodabow Bravo Zulu and an Excalibur 355 on the way from Wyverns. Do I need a back up? I'm not sure, really did not plan it this way but I have a back up now. :D

In my opinion they are second to none in the quality dept. The bow has a military look like an M16 or an AR15. You either like the look or you do not. My bow came with a Hawke lighted scope and an awesome factory trigger. All the models have the same rail and stock/trigger assembly. You swap out limb sets if you want to go heavier or lighter in poundage. Have not shot it a lot outside because of the weather.(got it in Jan 14) You can not shot at the same spot at twenty yards with out destroying arrows. It is heavier than the 355 but balances great when shooting off hand. Check out their web site, they have a lot of videos on the bow.

Well today I tried out my new 330 matrix.It is very accurate and a nice little compact bow.Might take a little getting use to it.I can hold my Axiom much steadier off hand.I like both but for now I give my Axiom a slight better bow for me.They both have there place.The 330 matrix I can go to some of my stands better in the brush to get there.Closer to my camp I can use my Axiom.If something goes wrong right during the prime season I now own 2 great crossbows.Both wear a nikon XR Bolt scope so I'l be looking through the same eye piece.They seem about the same to cock the bow.Maybe a tad more on the 330.Anyway thats my experience having now own both.

I've found the same thing with my Matrix 405.
The wider limbs and extra weight help in steadying the older bows.

That's why a tightrope walker uses a long balancing pole.
